Scrappy Boy Stamps: I Can't Get Enough of April's New Release!

I just can't enough of Scrappy Boy Stamps' April 2023 release! This release is just filled with 18th century-inspired stamps, book lovers-inspired stamps, awesome paper packs, and amazing stencil sets! I have two cards to share, one using the "Make an Impression" set and one with "Cute Girls Book Lovers." 

Make an Impression Card: True love lasts forever!

The Make an Impression stamp set was inspired by Jane Austen's 18th century novels. This set consists of 6 character, 2 fan, and 7 sentiment stamps. This versatile set is perfect for cards, scrapbooking, and Memory Dex Cards. 

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic markers in the following colors:

Man:

Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000

Hair: E39, YR27, YR24, Y32

Cheeks: E93

Brown: E47, E44,E43,E40

Woman:

Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000

Hair: E39, E37, E33, E31

Cheeks: E95

Pink: R85, R83, R81

Green: YG63, YG61, YG03

Brown: E35, E33

I first layered pink cardstock on top of the top folding A2 card base. I then layered patterned paper from the Make an Impression Paper Pack on top. Next, I added a strip of patterned paper at the bottom to create the look of carpet. Then added a 2" strip of patterned paper for the chair rail look.

I used the Tutti Designs Oriental Fan die and cut it out using patterned paper from the Make an Impression Paper Pack and adhered it flat onto the card. I adhered the two colored stamps onto the card using double-sided adhesive foam tape. 

I stamped the sentiment on pink cardstock and used a Banner Die from Stamp Anniething to cut it out. I cut out a blue mat for it as well. To finish the card, I added a few enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs.

Cute Girls Book Lovers Card: Reading is an adventure that never ends!

This month's Cute Girls set, "Cute Girls Book Lovers," consists of 6 image stamps and 8 sentiments. It is becoming one of my favorite Cute Girls line of stamps! Also, there is matching patterned papers and an awesome two-piece layered stencil.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic markers in the following colors:

Mom:

Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000

Cheeks: E93

Mouth: R20

Hair: E59, E57,E34,E53

Cheeks: E93

Pink: R85, R83, R81

Boy:

Gray: N3, N1

Pink: R85, R83, R81

Blue: B37, B34, B32

I first cut a black mat 1/4" smaller on each edge for my top folding A2 card. I adhered this onto the card base.

I created the bookshelf and books using the new Scrappy Boy Stencil called I Love Reading Layered Bookshelf Stencil. I used Distress Color Inks in Blueprint Sketch, Dusty Concord, Picked Raspberry, and Ground Espresso and inked the stencil onto tan colored cardstock. To create the multi-colored books, I had to mask off areas to avoid inking them. 

I added a couple of potted plants I created using dies from Stamp Anniething. I then adhered this panel onto the black cardstock. I stamped the sentiment and adhered this and the colored stamps onto the card front using double-sided foam adhesive.

Thank you for stopping by today. Such a fun set of stamps, stencils, and papers this month! Have a creative day! 

Paper Nest Dolls: Ellie with Flowers Mother's Day Card

I am still working on my stash of Mother's Day cards. I just love making them with digital stamps. This card is made with the adorable Ellie with Flowers stamp from Paper Nest Dolls. If you're not into digital stamps, this also comes in red rubber! 

I printed the stamp at 3" high and let the width default. I made sure there was enough white space so that I could use an oval die to cut it out to fit an A6-sized card.

I colored the stamp with Copic markers in the following colors:

Skin: E13, E11, E21, E00, E000

Cheeks: E95

Hair: E25, E13, E34, E11,YR20, Y00

Purple: V06, V04, V01

Yellow: YR16, YR15, YR12

Green: G17, YG17, YG03

Blue: B18, B91

White: N3, N1, 0

After coloring the stamp, I cut it out using a stitched oval die from Gina Marie Designs then colored the sky using Distress Ink in Faded Jeans. Then I matted it with lavender cardstock that I cut out with a scalloped oval die from Gina Marie Designs. 

I used a flower embossing folder from my stash to put behind the lavender cardstock then adhered it onto the A6 card base.

To finish the card, I printed the Happy Mother's Day sentiment on my computer and trimmed it to fit the card and adhered it to the top of the card. 

Such a fun, easy, and cute card to make for Mother's Day. I hope you give this one a try!

Have a wonderful and creative day!

I just had to make a slimline card to show off the amazing "Roses 4 Piece Layered Stencil Set." Each of the 4 layers of the stencil are numbered so you will know the order to ink. Always start with inking the roses using your lightest color. I used Distress inks in Shabby Shutters (leaves), Milled Lavender, Seedless Preserves, and Dusty Concord. I inked this using Bristol paper so that I can add some water and paint specks. I used acrylic paint in plum and white.

The size of the card base is 3.5"W x 8.5"H. I used one of the Scrappy Boy Stamps nesting Slimline Scalloped Edge Dies to cut out lavender cardstock to mat the card base. Then I trimmed the stenciled roses piece to fit on top. 

I placed the colored stamps on lavender cardstock that I cut using a Gina Marie Designs oval stitched scallop die. I mounted this onto the card with double sided foam adhesive. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out using one of the nesting Stitched Rectangle Dies and mounted it using the double sided foam adhesive. I finished the card by adding a few lavender colored pearl rhinestones from my stash. 

Cute Girls Book Lovers Card: So many books, so little time

I first used one of the nesting Scrappy Boy Stamps Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut a black cardstock mat and adhered it to a top-folding A2 card base. I then used one of the nesting Scrappy Boy Stamps Stitched Scalloped Dies to cut one of the patterned papers from the I Love Reading Paper Pack and adhered this over the black cardstock. 

I used a retired CC Designs In & Out Scalloped Circle Die to cut out the circle frame. I adhered vellum in the center then cut off an inch and adhered them on the opposite sides of the card. I then used double sided foam tape and adhered the Cute Girl onto the bigger circle.

I stamped the sentiment and used one of the nesting Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut it out and adhered it to the card front. I added a few pearl rhinestones from my stash to finish the card.

Thank you for visiting today. I hope you give this card a try. The stencil is so fun to play with! Have a creative day!
